Automatic polar ice thickness estimation from SAR imagery
Global warming has caused serious damage to our environment in recent years. Accelerated loss of ice from Greenland and Antarctica has been observed in recent decades. The melting of polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers has a considerable influence on sea level rise and altering ocean currents, potentially leading to the flooding of the coastal regions and putting millions of people around th...
متن کاملIce Cloud Optical Thickness and Extinction Estimates from Radar Measurements
A remote sensing method is proposed to derive vertical profiles of the visible extinction coefficients in ice clouds from measurements of the radar reflectivity and Doppler velocity taken by a vertically pointing 35-GHz cloud radar. The extinction coefficient and its vertical integral, optical thickness t, are among the fundamental cloud optical parameters that, to a large extent, determine the...
متن کاملAutomated Tracking of 2d and 3d Ice Radar Imagery Using Viterbi and Trw-s
We present improvements to existing implementations of the Viterbi and TRW-S algorithms applied to ice-bottom layer tracking on 2D and 3D radar imagery, respectively. Along with an explanation of our modifications and the reasoning behind them, we present a comparison between our results, the results obtained with the original implementations, and those obtained with other proposed methods of p...
متن کاملAutomatic Bedrock and Ice Layer Boundaries Estimation in Radar Imagery Based on Level Set Approach
Accelerated loss of ice from Greenland and Antarctica has been observed in recent decades. The melting of polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers has a considerable influence on sea level rise in a changing climate. Ice thickness is a key factor in making predictions about the future of massive ice reservoirs. The ice thickness can be estimated by calculating the exact location of the ice surfac...
متن کاملMaster Control Design of Polar Detection Ice Radar
This paper focuses on the design of the master control software dedicated for the application of high-resolution polar detection ice radar. The central part of proposed software is FPGA, which plays roles of collecting radar echo data, playback of chirp signal, data transmission to upper computer, coherent integral accumulation of digitized data and system control of the whole radar system. The...
